Today’s Psalms:

Psalm 19:

1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.

[2] Day after day pours forth speech, And night after night reveals knowledge.

[3] There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars]; Their voice is not heard.

[4] Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun,

[5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

[6] The sun’s rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

[7] The law of the LORD is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul; The statutes of the LORD are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.

[8] The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

[9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether.

[10] They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

[11] Moreover, by them Your servant is warned [reminded, illuminated, and instructed]; In keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 24:

1 The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it.

[2] For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the streams and the rivers.

[3] Who may ascend onto the mountain of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?

[4] He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.

[5] He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

[6] This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah. [7] Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.

[8] Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

[9] Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.

[10] Who is [He then] this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.

Today’s Psalms:

Psalm 11

3 If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” [4] The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD’S throne is in heaven. His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men.

[5] The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence.

[6] Upon the wicked (godless) He will rain coals of fire; Fire and brimstone and a dreadful scorching wind will be the portion of their cup [of doom].

[7] For the LORD is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice); The upright shall see His face.

Psalm 18:

1 I love you, LORD; you are my strength.

[2] The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

[3] I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.

[4] The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me.

[5] The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path.

[6] But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.

[7] Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the mountains shook; they quaked because of his anger.

[8] Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.

[9] He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.

[10] Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

[11] He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds. [12] Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him and rained down hail and burning coals.

[13] The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals.

[14] He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

[15] Then at your command, O LORD, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.

[16] He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.

[17] He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

[18] They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the LORD supported me.

[19] He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.

[20] The LORD rewarded me for doing right; he restored me because of my innocence.

[21] For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not turned from my God to follow evil.

[22] I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees.

[23] I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin.

[24] The LORD rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence.

[25] To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity.

[26] To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

[27] You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud.

[28] You light a lamp for me. The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness.

[29] In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

[30] God’s way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

[31] For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock?

[32] God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. [33] He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.

[34] He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. [35] You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great.

[36] You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.

Today’s Psalms:

Psalm 9:

1 I will give thanks and praise the LORD, with all my heart; I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.

[2] I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. [3] When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.

[4] For You have maintained my right and my cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.

[5] You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked and unrepentant; You have wiped out their name forever and ever.

[6] The enemy has been cut off and has vanished in everlasting ruins, You have uprooted their cities; The very memory of them has perished.

[7] But the LORD will remain and sit enthroned forever; He has prepared and established His throne for judgment.

[8] And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the nations with fairness (equity).

[9] The LORD also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble;

[10] And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You.

[11] Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds.

Psalm 10:

16 The LORD is King forever and ever; The nations will perish from His land. [17] O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble and oppressed; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to hear,

[18] To vindicate and obtain justice for the fatherless and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer terrify them.

Before we begin, pray the following:

Reference: Ephesians 1:17-20, 2:6 TPT

I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to me the riches of the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through my deepening intimacy with Him.

I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of my imagination, flooding me with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!

I pray that I will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to me through faith. Then my life will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through me! This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm, and He raised me up with Christ the exalted One, and I ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for I am now co-seated as one with Christ!

AMEN

Reference: Ephesians 3:16-20 TPT

I pray that He would unveil within me the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods my innermost being with His Divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using my faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside me, and the resting place of His Love will become the very source and root of my life.

Then I will be empowered to discover what every Holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all Its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is His Love! How enduring and inclusive It is! Endless Love beyond measurement that transcends my understanding—this extravagant Love pours into me until I am filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

20 I will never doubt God’s mighty power to work in me and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than my greatest request, my most unbelievable dream, and exceed my wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes me.

AMEN

Day 1 Psalms:

Psalm 8:1-2 TPT

YAHWEH, our Sovereign God, your glory streams from the heavens above, filling the earth with the majesty of your name! People everywhere see your splendor. [2] You have built a stronghold by the songs of children. Strength rises up with the chorus of infants. This kind of praise has power to shut satan’s mouth. Childlike worship will silence the madness of those who oppose you.

Psalm 8:3-9 AMP

When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established, [4] What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? [5] Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. [6] You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, [7] All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, [8] The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. [9] O LORD, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!
